The GitHub + Microsoft EA Blind Spot

GitHub is owned by Microsoft. Yet 71% of organizations negotiate their GitHub Enterprise agreement completely separately from their Microsoft EA, forfeiting bundling options that can reduce total GitHub costs by 20-35%. Procurement teams that align GitHub negotiations with their Microsoft EA renewal consistently achieve substantially better outcomes than those handling them independently.

FAQ

GitHub Enterprise Pricing FAQ

What discounts do enterprises get on GitHub Enterprise?

Enterprise GitHub buyers with 500+ seats typically negotiate 20-35% off list on GitHub Enterprise Cloud ($21/user/month). GitHub Copilot Business ($19/user/month list) is frequently discounted 15-25% in enterprise agreements. Organizations bundling GitHub with Microsoft 365 or Azure EA agreements often achieve the best overall economics, sometimes 30-40% below standalone list pricing.

How does GitHub Copilot pricing work for enterprises?

GitHub Copilot Business lists at $19/user/month and Copilot Enterprise at $39/user/month. Enterprise deals frequently involve negotiated per-seat rates and can be bundled with GitHub Enterprise Cloud. Organizations typically see 15-25% discounts on Copilot when negotiating as part of a larger GitHub Enterprise deal. Microsoft 365 E5 customers should also evaluate whether their existing entitlements create Copilot overlap.

Should GitHub Enterprise be negotiated alongside our Microsoft EA?

Yes, in most cases. GitHub is Microsoft-owned, and aligning GitHub negotiations with Microsoft EA reviews creates meaningful leverage. Our data shows organizations that negotiate GitHub as part of Microsoft EA reviews save an average of 28% more than those negotiating standalone, with the largest gains at 1,000+ seat counts where volume discounts and EA structure overlap most favorably.

What is GitHub Advanced Security and how is it priced?

GitHub Advanced Security (GHAS) adds code scanning, secret scanning, and dependency review to GitHub Enterprise. It's priced per active committer per month ($49 list), which differs from overall GitHub Enterprise seat count. Organizations often overpay by including inactive contributors in committer counts. Our benchmark reports include GHAS committer count optimization as standard, which typically reduces GHAS costs by 20-30%.
